NEP local language textbook creation – UGC NET Question

NEP 2020 stresses that learners must have access to quality textbooks and materials in their home and regional languages, encouraging both original writing and translation, with states adapting content to local culture while meeting national standards.

Option A:
Restricting textbooks to English alone would disadvantage many learners and goes against the policy’s emphasis on promoting Indian languages.

Option B:
This option is correct because it reflects NEP’s call for strong local-language materials created and adapted by states to ensure comprehension and relevance.

Option C:
Depending only on foreign language textbooks ignores India’s linguistic diversity and would make learning harder for many students.

Option D:
Relying solely on online videos without structured textbooks would make it difficult to ensure coherent, curriculum-aligned learning resources.
